Getting Symbols into our blogs and comments

Since we don't have an Insert-Symbol button to use when we're writing a blog or comment directly in ActiveRain, it's handy to use the ALT+ symbols. Here's a reference for the ones you can't remember. Using them is very simple (might not work on all laptops, but should work on most machines) - hold down the ALT key with one hand while typing the digits with the other hand. Here are some common ones:

I recently called a woman who had sent me a client, and asked her for some Polish tutoring - how do I pronounce the names of these clients she sent me? She said, don't worry, they're used to their names being butchered. I replied, not the point - I want to pronounce them right. So now my ACT record has phonetic pronunciations so our whole team can pronounce them properly.

How did you know my ancestry is 100% Polish? :winks: I seriously made it to college before someone pronounced my name correctly at UNO orientation. I sat through my name being called right, I was expecting all other variations but the real deal!
